Up and coming - Feat. Rodger Ponce

Rodger Ponce De Leon was born in the Bronx NYC and at 2 years old was placed in the foster care system. He moved with his Foster mother to San Francisco when he was 8 years old. Loving the East coast vibe of San Francisco and embracing the mission district. Rodger took an immediate passion for graffiti art, painting murals that told his story of struggle and love for art. Rodger missed the stoops of NYC and freestyling verses with his friends. Having a spirit that wanted to see the world he joined the army at 17. Having survived combat and injuries Rodger came home to SF. Graduated with honors from UC Berkeley and dedicated his time to public service. As much as Rodger felt fulfilled by public service, he missed his artistic spirit. After he was exposed to the world of SMP by one of his brothers from the war who had an amazing scar camouflage, Rodger took his training as a scalp micropigmentation artist as a serious calling and went all in. Training under the expert tutelage of John and Britany Chandler, who encouraged Rodger to develop his skill set. Rodger felt honored to be offered an apprenticeship by SMP Ink Co-founder Jennelle Harris-Martinez who took Rodger to the next level as an artist and fearless entrepreneur, Rodger represents the brand of SMP Ink with outstanding work and an unstoppable desire to push the SMP Industry forward. Constantly wanting to learn and grow as an artist Rodger is emerging as an up and coming force to be reckoned with in the SMP industry and was humbled at the opportunity to be in David Santiago’s podcast.
